INFLATING DROP-STITCH FLOOR

Inflate the floor using the included hand pump.  Insert the hose into the 

valve (make sure valve is in the UP position) and turn hose clockwise 

until it locks into place.  Inflate manually using the PSI pressure gauge 

on the pump to confirm the desired PSI of 8-10 PSI.  Once you have 

reached the desired PSI twist hose counter-clockwise to remove.  

Replace valve cap.

SEAT INSTALLATION

Place the seat on the floor of the kayak facing forward with the cushion 

on the floor (in the center of the Hook and loop strips).  Attach the clips 

from the ends of the webbing straps on front and on back to the 

D-Rings in front of and behind the seat.  Sit in the seat and find a 

position that is comfortable for you.  The recline of the seat can easily 

be adjusted forward or backward by tightening or loosening the web-

bing straps.  The location of the seat cushion can be adjusted by 

picking up the seat and moving it forward or backward.  Hook and loop 

on the floor will lock the seat cushion into position.

STORAGE OVERVIEW

Start by attaching the fin blades into the ends of the paddle shaft by 

depressing the button on the blade. Next, slide the 2 pieces of the 

paddle together by depressing the button on the shaft, allowing the 2 

pieces of the shaft to lock together.  The elliptical shaped grip on the 

right side of the paddle is designed so you can locate the ideal paddle 

position easier while paddling.  The paddle can be adjusted to 3 differ-

ent positions by pushing the button at the joint and spinning the paddle 

right or left until the pin locks into place in either of the designated 

positions.  We recommend the center position.

DRAINS

The bottom drains are a convenient way to drain accumulated rainwa-

ter or water that has splashed into the boat.  Open the drains while on 

shore.  The drains are not intended for use while on the water.  

Leaving the drains open while paddling will allow water to partially fill 

the iKayak which will make it heavy and sluggish to maneuver.  

Additionally, water inside the iKayak could result in wet gear.

Setting up your iKayak –  Deflation and Storage

DEFLATION LOCATION & CONDITION

IMPORTANT: IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE USING YOUR 

iKAYAK AGAIN SOON, IT IS IMPORTANT TO LET IT DRY BEFORE 

FOLDING UP AND STORING.  FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT 

IN MILDEW OR MOLD.  MAKE SURE TO LET IT DRY COMPLETELY 

BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO STORE FOR LONG PERIODS.  

Locate an area large and flat enough to fold the Beacon iKayak avoid-

ing hazards that could damage the kayak or injure you.  Let the air out 

of the kayak by unscrewing the 2-way Boston valves on the outside 

chambers and by removing the cap and depressing the button on the 

floor valve.  CAUTION- the floor valve has a lot of pressure.  Air will 

escape quickly once the button is depressed.  Do not place face 

directly over valve while deflating.  

Once the valves are removed, wait a few minutes for the air to drain 

from the iKayak.  Once most of the air has drained from the iKayak’s 

chambers you can fold the iKayak.  It is recommended to fold the tip 

and the tail toward the center, then fold each of the ends in, toward 

each other.  As you are folding, wipe off any debris from the ground/-

floor.  The iKayak comes with a backpack for storage and transport. 

 

The Beacon iKayak has plenty of storage; both inside and on top as 

well as in the seat.  The bungee storage zones on top are a great place 

to put your PFD, dry bag, etc.  Additional storage is located in the back 

of the seat.

TOOL-LESS FIN

After the boat is inflated, it’s time to insert the tool-less fin.  Insert the 

tabs of the fin into the opening on the fin box.  Slide the tab-end of the 

fin into the back of the fin box then insert the rest of the fin base in to 

the fin box.  Secure the fin by pushing down on the locking lever (see 

photos).

Remember: HO Sports recommends always using the fin while pad-

dling, but if you decide to paddle in extremely shallow water, note that 

the fin could be damaged.

PADDLE ASSEMBLY AND FEATURES

side chamber of your iKayak contact HO Sports Customer Service 

department using the provided contact info.  

REPAIRS/REPAIR KIT

Your Beacon comes with a repair kit to repair any leaks that may 

develop in the floor of the iKayak.  The repair kit comes with special 

glue and a piece of material used to do the patch and a wrench for the 

floor valve.

Most punctures will be pin hole sized or small cuts.  For these sized 

repairs, a penny sized patch should work.  Ensure your patch has 

adequate distance between the puncture and the edge of the patch.  

With the air out of the floor, apply glue to the puncture area as well as 

the patch and apply the patch.  (for best results, lightly scuff area where 

patch will be applied to give glue some texture to bond to).  Allow patch 

to dry for at least 15 minutes before adding air.  Allow glue to cure for 

24 hours to increase chances of the patch bonding.

This dual-action hand pump was designed for and is ideal to inflate 

your Beacon iKayak.  Simply select the correct adaptor to fit your valve, 

attach the hose to the valve, and inflate.

Setting up your iKayak –  Assembly and Inflation

INFLATION LOCATION

Locate an area large and flat enough to unfold the Beacon iKayak 

avoiding hazards that could damage the kayak or injure you.

INFLATING KAYAK

Inflate the sides of the kayak first using the included hand pump.  

1.Make sure you are using the correct adaptor and that the base of the 

valve is threaded tightly into place, insert the end of the hose into top of 

2-way valve and inflate manually until side chambers are firm.  

2.Inflate until both chambers haven taken shape but are not firm to the 

touch.

3.Adjust the floor bladder to ensure it is centered inside the cover.  

(This step is important and will ensure the floor is in the proper position 

after inflation)

4.Inflate the floor fully.  (see instructions on next page)

5.Continue to inflate the sides of kayak until they are firm to the touch.  

It's better to have more air than not enough.

keep your eyes on the horizon.  Gently rock the boat side to side while 

floating near shore to get a feel for the stability of the kayak before 

you begin paddling.  Feel the balance of the boat as you begin to 

gently paddle forward.  At any time, if the boat begins to roll to one 

side or the other, move your eyes to the horizon while holding the 

paddle out in front of you.  Looking down and side to side will increase 

the rolling action.  Make sure all the items you bring like bags, coolers, 

water bottles are secured so they won’t float away in case of a tip 

over.  To avoid capsizing, paddle directly (perpendicular) into oncom-

ing boat wakes.

Yaw:

Yaw is the side to side motion produced by paddling which causes the 

boat to zig-zag.  To minimize yaw, install the Tool-Less fin into its base 

on the bottom of the boat.  The fin will improve tracking and is ideal for 

use in flat water areas like bays, lakes and rivers.  HO Sports recom-

mends to always use the fin while paddling the iKayak for best results.  

If you decide to paddle in shallow areas, the fin may prevent you from 

moving.  NOTE- if you decide to remove the fin while paddling, you 

will be much more susceptible to yaw.  THE BEACON iKayak IS NOT 

INTENDED FOR USE IN WHITEWATER OR FAST MOVING 

CURENTS.

Bottom Drains:

The bottom drains are a convenient way to drain accumulated rainwa-

ter or water that has splashed into the boat.  Open the drains while on 

shore. The drains are not intended for use while on the water.  

Leaving the drains open while paddling will allow water to partially fill 

the iKayak which will make it heavy and sluggish to maneuver.  Addi-

tionally, water inside the iKayak could result in wet gear.

Paddling:

For the most effective paddling, sit up straight and hold the paddle out 

in front of you with hands out wide enough that the forearms are 

perpendicular to the shaft (like a push-up position).  Most of the power 

should come from your torso.

Your arms contribute, but too much reliance on your arms will cause 

you to tire quickly.  For good balance, especially in rougher conditions, 

keep your head up and your eyes focused on the horizon.

Start paddling gently and smoothly.  Alternate paddling on the right 

and left side of the boat.  As the iKayak picks up speed it will maintain 

a truer heading.  If you dig in hard at first you will create more yaw.

SAFETY:

Outlined in this section are some basic safety tips.  It is impossible to 

cover all topics of water safety in this manual.  For further information on 

boating safety, visit USCGboating.org or enroll in a water safety course in 

your area.

As with any water sports product, using general common sense will 

increase your chances of a fun and safe experience.  We recommend 

wearing a USCG approved life jacket at all times while using this iKayak.  

Additionally, we suggest that users have the ability to swim reasonably 

well in the event of a tip over.  When possible, plan your trip so you go 

upwind on the way out and downwind on the way back.

The sport of boating is inherently dangerous.  Do not paddle in conditions 

beyond your ability such as white water or strong currents.  Beginners 

are recommended to paddle in a calm pond or lake while they are learn-

ing how to operate the kayak.  Users should be physically fit enough to 

meet the challenges, prepared for any weather conditions that might be 

anticipated, and follow the safety basics.  A waterproof bag is recom-

mended to preserve any items that you would not want to get wet such 

as cell phone, car keys, electronics, etc.

BOATING SAFETY TIPS:

• Always wear a USCG approved PFD (life vest) while on the water.

• Be aware of your local boating laws and regulations and abide by them.

• Check inflation levels each time before you go out and inflate your boat 

for a full 24 hours before undertaking long trips.

• DO NOT allow children to use your iKayak unsupervised.

• DO NOT consume alcohol or drugs while boating.

• DO NOT exceed the recommended capacity of 450lbs under any 

circumstance.

• DO NOT go paddling alone.

• DO NOT use compressors, CO2, or compressed air for inflation, only 

use the HO SPORTS pump that comes included with your iKayak.

• DO NOT use your iKayak as a personal flotation device. 

• DO NOT sleep inside of your iKayak while on the water.

• ALWAYS bring a charged cell phone or other emergency device in a 

waterproof bag.

• ALWAYS tell someone of your boating plans.

Safety Equipment & Important Safety Items:

Water conditions will determine the type of safety equipment needed for 

that day.  At a minimum have a PFD (personal flotation device) and a 

whistle for each passenger.  PFD’s are required by law in most states.   

NEVER TAKE AN INFLATABLE INTO WHITE WATER CONDITIONS.

Drinking Water and Snacks: 

Paddling is a physical activity that can deplete your reserves.  Have 

enough water and snacks to prevent dehydration and loss of stamina. 

Bring enough water for all passengers.  Know the warning signs of 

dehydration and heat sickness such as dizziness and shaking.

Extra Clothes/Layers: 

Avoid deadly hypothermia.  Water conducts heat faster than air, so go 

prepared with weather proof clothing especially if the water is cold.  Use a 

“dry bag” to store extra clothing in case you need a dry change of clothes.  

Wear a wetsuit or drysuit when conditions warrant it.

First Aid Kit: 

It is recommended to carry a first aid kit that contains items that might be 

needed to match the hazards you are likely to encounter.  A waterproof 

container is recommended.  

Manual Pump/Repair Kit: 

Although our boats are both durable and rugged, it’s possible that you may 

need to make a repair while on the water in which case you’ll need the 

repair kit and hand pump to re-inflate the boat.  If this is your first time 

doing a repair, you may want to bring this instruction manual with you.

Sun/Rain Protection:

A hat can protect both your face and head from the rain or sun.  When 

used correctly, sunscreen can prevent serious damage to your skin from 

the sun and the sun’s reflection from the water.  Wear sunscreen.

Whistle:

Having a whistle readily available to you in case of emergency is a great 

way to attract the attention of others if assistance is needed.  Many paddle 

jackets, including HO’s Paddle Jacket, are equipped with a whistle.

Float Plan:

Similar to a pilot’s flight plan, consider having a float plan.  Always tell 

someone where you are going to be boating and what time you plan to 

return.  Keep a cell phone in a waterproof container that will float if it falls 

in the water.  Never paddle alone. More information about float plans can 

be found at www.floatplancentral.org. 

OPERATING YOUR iKAYAK

There are a few basic things to consider before venturing out in your 

iKayak.

Balance:

The Beacon iKayak is wider than many other inflatable kayaks.  Even so, 

you should familiarize yourself with them in calm, shallow water before 

embarking on a long journey.  Take a minute while close to shore to find 

your balance in the kayak.  Hold the paddle in front of you for balance and 

Course corrections can be made by easing up or bearing down on one 

side or the other.  Wind direction can also affect your course and correc-

tions can be made the same way.  

 Gentle turns can be made by sweeping water behind the boat.  Sharp 

turns can be made by using the paddle as a brake on one side.  

Braking will allow you to maneuver sharp bends in a stream, for example, 

but kills forward speed.

Setting up your iKayak – Valves and Pumps 

VALVE IDENTIFICATION

ATTACHING PUMP HOSE TO VALVE

The Beacon has a Recessed 2-Way valve for the rigid Dropstitch Floor 

(1).  The Side chambers have a traditional tube valve known as a 2-Way 

Boston Valve (2).  The hand pump that comes with your iKayak includes 

attachments to both styles of valve.

OPERATING FLOOR VALVE

Press the button so it can pop UP.  When the stem is up, the valve is 

closed.  Air will be able to enter the valve but no air will escape.  

To let air escape for deflation, press the stem until locked in the DOWN 

or open position.

OPERATING 2-WAY BOSTON VALVES

Making sure base of valve is threaded straight and screwed in properly, 

remove top cap of valve and insert hose from pump into the valve.  You 

can now pump air into the iKayak sides.

To let air escape for deflation, remove the base of the valve.

DO NOT USE AIR COMPRESSOR

Air compressors that are designed for other uses like tire inflation can 

easily over-inflate and cause harm to your Beacon iKayak.  HO Sports 

highly recommends only using the included pump for inflation of your 

iKayak.

HAND PUMP

STORAGE

If you’re planning on leaving your iKayak outside, keep it raised off the 

ground and covered so it is not exposed to sunlight, rain, leaves, yard 

debris, insects, rhodents, etc.

The best way to extend the life of your Beacon is to store it in a location 

away from direct sunlight such as a garage or storage shed.  

Other factors to avoid are areas where rodents are present and areas 

of excessive high or low temperatures such as attics or steel buildings.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your Beacon iKayak has lost pressure, it does not necessarily mean 

there is a leak.  If it is inflated during the heat of the day and the tem-

perature drops during the night it will be softer in the morning.  Or, if 

launching in very cold water, the air inside may condense and cause a 

loss of pressure.  In either of these cases, use the included hand pump 

to add air to all chambers that aren’t firm.  If temperature is not a factor 

and your boat is losing air pressure, it’s time to look for a leak.

First, visually inspect the boat and look for any damage that could have 

caused a puncture and may help you locate the leak.  Look on the 

bottom and the top of the boat.  While you are inspecting, listen for any 

air leaks.  

Make sure your valves are screwed in properly.  The valve in the floor 

comes with a valve wrench (included in your repair kit).  If the floor is 

losing air, try tightening the valve with the valve wrench (see below), 

then add air and listen for leaks.  The 2-way valves on the side cham-

bers need to be threaded correctly and screwed in reasonably tight.  Do 

not over tighten!  Once they are properly seated, add air and listen for 

air leaks.  

If your boat is still leaking, the next step is to use soapy water to locate 

the leak.  We recommend finding a clean, flat location where you can 

remove the leaky chamber and find the location of the leak.  The floor 

of the iKayak is easy to remove without too much work.  If your leak is 

in the floor, remove the floor from the boat, re-inflate and apply soapy 

water.  Once you see bubbles, you have found your leak.  

It is not likely that your boat will develop a leak in the side chambers as 

they are protected by the durable cover.  If one of your side chambers 

does develop a leak, access the side chamber from the zipper in the 

cover and remove it from the cover.  Inflate and insert the valve, then 

apply soapy water and look for the bubbles.  If you have a leak in the 

Additional patching tips:

• The chamber must be deflated while applying patch

• Keep patch size to a minimum.   The larger the patch, the harder to 

seal.

• For repairs larger than a puncture, overlap the damage area by about  

1.2 cm / .5 in on each side.

• Do not apply the patch while the glue is wet.  Allow glue to partially set 

before applying patch.

• Covering a leaking patch with another patch rarely works.  To remove 

a patch, heat it with a hair dryer and peel it off.

• For field repairs, allow at least an hour to cure.  If possible, allow to 

cure for 24 hours.

• NEVER use a heat gun on your iKayak.  Hair dryers can be used to 

remove a patch.

If your iKayak develops a leak in one of the side chambers contact HO 

Sports Customer Service department to discuss possible solutions.
